Social Work students recognized for policy analysis

Posted on by

Social Work students from Belmont University were recently honored for the best policy analysis and presentation at Social Work Day on the Hill, an annual legislative event at the Tennessee State Legislature sponsored by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).  Their winning poster presentation, selected by a panel of social work policy experts, provided analysis of Senate Bill 0804 and House Bill 0937 which would amend Tennessee Code to prohibit the state from participating in any Medicaid expansion authorized under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Social Work Day on the Hill attracts over 400 practitioners, educators and students from across the state of Tennessee to discuss policy response to the issues that impact the social work profession and clients served by social workers.  The event serves as a call to action and is a unifying experience that links the practice community to social welfare policy.
